The City of Ottawa Archives invites residents to complete a brief online questionnaire in order to help inform its strategic plan for the next five years.

The Archives recently moved into the new James Bartleman Archives and Library Materials Centre on Tallwood Drive. The questionnaire requests your feedback on this new facility, as well as the programs and services offered by the Archives. Your input will help make the Archives a community meeting place and ensure that its services meet your needs.

Residents are invited to complete a brief online questionnaire before February 24, 2012 in order to help inform the strategic plan of the Archives for the next five years.
